A cool morning on the bus gives way to the sudden frame of Mt. Fuji—snow-capped, aloof—rising above a small Lawson store, an everyday counterpoint to a sacred peak. The tour threads through quiet streets and hillside parks, stopping at Arakurayama Sengen Park where the five-storied Chureito Pagoda keeps watch; climb the stone steps and the mountain seems to lean forward, demanding a response.
